NBA coach to lead UF hoops; press conference today

Former NBA head coach Billy Donovan will be introduced as Florida's basketball coach today. The 42-year-old coach is expected to provide leadership to the Gators' rudderless hoops program. Gainesville is glowing with excitement. "The possibilities are endless," said one fan. A press conference is scheduled for 11 a.m. today. UF's sports information department moved the friendly meet-and-greet session to the football stadium's press conference facility to accommodate reporters. Donovan brings professional basketball experience to the Gators' program. He was the head coach of the Orlando Magic for about three days.
